Discovery

                                                    

 

 

My love for life

redwindles

behind the doors of

knowledge.

Life’s prancing candle

kindles

on His eternal

pledge.

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Beginning to see the light?
I wrote this poem on November 25,1968 and posted it on Hello Poetry in November 2010. Kate Little (from Australia) wrote a reaction (better than the poem itself, I might add) in December 2010. This began a 2 month trans world voyage into collaboration. It lead to the follow up poem of " Twilight's Discovery." and three subsequent writes. I will post them in order for you to see the progression and development of the final poem. It was a wonderful experience. Please feel free to comment and add your input.

sometimes ignorance is bliss...the more you know the more you think and I believe the more knowledge the less you live from the heart...I read this about 4 times, kept thinking and found some real truth in these lines. Thank you.

very profound and your use of redwindles.......interesting....I see this as someone who realizes that sometimes knowledge blinds us to the truth........I know this well.
